It was clear our pet was well cared for and getting plenty of attention. Her communication made the entire experience completely stress-free, and we were able to enjoy our trip without worrying. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”

About: Hi Pawrents and Purrents! I wear many hats in my life—being a furbaby mom, a sister, a wife, and a teacher, among others. But one of my favorite roles is being a nature and animal caretaker. I've been exploring this path with animals for as long as I can remember, and I truly hope that my journey continues in this loving way. Through my experiences and cherished moments spent with four-legged friends, I've learned that they are as diverse, unique, and special as we are. I know how important it is to understand and respect each pet's individual personality and needs, and to provide consistent, gentle guidance during training. As a fellow pet pawrent, I completely understand your worries, concerns, and the little anxieties that come with leaving your beloved pet in someone else's care while you're away. It would be my pleasure to offer the loving, attentive care that your furry friend deserves, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. During the time your furbaby is with me, I promise to provide: - pictures throughout the day - pictures of fresh water and food/snacks they receive - walking outside / hiking/running (depending on the pet's personality) - basic trick training: sit, paw, spin... etc ( as long as the pet is compliant! ) - nose work activity for their brain stimulation Alongside my experience with dogs and cats, I also have a passion for a variety of other pets that I currently own, including freshwater fish, a tortoise, and both tropical and desert lizards. As an immunology scientist, I want to share that I am familiar with chemicals that could potentially be harmful to your pet - I hope this information can offer you some extra peace of mind! My schedule is flexible, and I'd do my best to modify my days tailored to your pet's needs. On typical week days, I am available to check on your fur babies after 5:30pm - 10pm! I can stay in your home with your pet. Regardless of whether I am staying overnight or not, I will provide adequate exercise and playtime to your pets while I am with them.
“It's the second time when Leslie takes care of our fur babies...and like the first time everything went without a glitch. Pets love her and they seem very content when we get home...no signs of stress at all...what else can we ask for? Thank you, Leslie!”
“Rebecca is amazing. The basics are there - clear communication, confirming schedules (pups and humans) and taking good care of the home. More importantly, our two dogs love having her take care of them. Rebecca has done a short pop-in booking and then came back to stay five days while we were on vacation. Lots of cuddles and walks. Can’t get better!”
“Michelle was great with Peppar, I could tell he was very happy and content with how Michelle provided for him and nurtured him, almost as if Peppar was her own pet. Cannot recommend highly enough!”
About: For more than 20 years, I’ve been caring for dogs of all ages, and my love for animals began in childhood. I’ve had the joy of raising and caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, giving each one the patience, attention, and love they deserve. I’m dependable, always on time, and committed to providing exceptional care with kindness and compassion. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, companionship, medication, special nutritional care, or extra attention because of age or health, you can trust they’ll be treated like family. In addition to my experience with dogs, I’ve also rescued cats and helped raise litters of kittens, giving me confidence caring for cats of all ages as well. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your beloved pet is receiving the highest level of care. I work remotely and have great flexibility with timing. I tailor schedules based on pet needs and pet parent requests. Weekly availability, M-F and also weekends and holidays Pets are honored guests in my home and all safety precautions are followed. Clean water is always available and pets are always supervised. When I visit pets in their homes I am always careful and respectful of their environment. Doors are always confirmed locked when I leave. I keep all the individual needs for each pet in mind.
“I had to leave my fur baby’s for 4 days and 3 nights. I was worried because I don’t like to leave them. Catalina came to my house to meet my fur baby’s and she made us all feel at ease. Thank you very much Catalina! While we were gone she sent pictures and gave updataes. I would highly recommend Catalina who has any worries about leaving their baby over night.”
“Annette was SUPERB with our 2 Siberian Huskies. She sent updates and photos each day and was a most thoughtful house sitter. I highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs for friends, family, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities and enjoy making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while their owners are away. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like it’s my own. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to follow any routines or special instructions to keep your pet comfortable and safe. I work during the mornings and get off around 5. Happy to stop by during the week while Wednesday nights through Saturday nights work the best since I work only Sunday-Wednesday. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where dogs can feel at home. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. If crate training is part of their routine, I can easily accommodate that as well. I will pay close attention to each dog’s or cats behavior and needs to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

When I moved to the city for school, lots of people asked me to pet sit and I loved it so much I hope to continue! I just moved to the Phoenix area and I can’t wait to meet new customers (and their owners 😉). Currently my schedule is completely flexible and I can accommodate any needs, even very short notice! Feel free to reach out day of and we can make it work! I’m happy to follow any routines you have with your animals! Since my schedule is so flexible, I’m comfortable feeding or walking morning, noon, or night. I’m also comfortable delivering medication.

I started in high school, and have continued running my business in my early twenties. my mom is also a trusted and well known pet sitter in town, so she’s taught me everything I need to know. I’ll love your pets like my own! I have a very flexible schedule at the moment - and i’m able to take multiple bookings. The only days of the week i’m planned to be gone from home are Mon, Wed, and Thurs - 3 hours each day. Other than that i’m home full time! I’m a perfectionist at heart, and very detail oriented.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fountain Hills
Andrew and Sophia are absolutely the best! They love animals and made sure our pups were not just well taken care of but loved while we were out of town. They have experience caring for senior dogs which helped us feel at ease leaving our 14-year-old lab. They took cute pictures and sent updates almost every day which was great. They also took wonderful care of the house including changing the sheets on the guest bed before they left. They go above and beyond. I highly recommend them and planning to rebook with them again in a few weeks.

FAQs for House Sitting - Fountain Hills
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fountain Hills on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 4,747 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fountain Hills. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Fountain Hills walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Fountain Hills maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Fountain Hills choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
